Our Mission

Tempo! Music Therapy Services is an organization dedicated to promoting the emotional and social well-being of individuals, improving their quality of life through the arts. Our goal is to create a positive impact on the lives of children, adults, and families to help them achieve personal growth and self exploration in a creative way. We believe that every individual has an innate musical ability and it is our responsibility to build upon that ability to create positive changes and to help clients reach their goals.

By offering a variety of creative arts therapy services and music instruction for all ages, we are able to see positive changes in our clients. Through clinical supervision and offering continuing education courses, we promote the professional growth of music therapists and support the clinical training of music therapy students. We give back to our community through our outreach programs and participation in community events.

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. It is a well-established healthcare profession in which various music-based methods are used to address the specific needs of individuals with illness, disabilities, and special needs. The music therapist assesses the needs of the clients, develops and implements a treatment plan based on assessment findings, and evaluates the treatment process. Because music is a powerful and non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are possible with a variety of populations. (2008 AMTA definition)
